I pray to the universe that that last scenario won’t happen, but I’m totally doing it now if it does.

There have been several studies showing we don’t have the raw resources to meet those demands. I hate the auto industry as much as the next person but this doesn’t seem to address that at all.

You can try WhoBird. It’s open source (available on fDroid) and runs completely locally on the phone. I’ve had decent success with it even in noisy environments.

All because social media fame and the attention made the bear used to cars and highways. Leave animals the fuck alone, we shouldn’t have wilderness social media stars FFS.

Shit like this is the reason we have to keep the locations of the oldest trees a secret as well.

They’re talking about packages you install, not the ISOs.

It’s a rule in English that “and I” is only used when it’s the subject not the object of a sentence. (Subject is the thing doing the action, and the object is the thing being acted upon)

The proper way to say this would be “she’s coming over me and my girlfriend’s movie night” because “she” is the subject in this sentence since she is the one “coming over”.

Hope that makes sense.

If you want open source adoption to continue to be low, please, keep making comments like this.

If you want people to switch, the apps need to be appealing not a chore. And relearning a workflow you’ve fine tuned over decades is a serious chore and may even be detrimental to your job.

I’m surprised the great firewall doesn’t block known blocks of VPN IP addresses.

While contributing is great, the BSDs are kinda dying and it’s probably better to spend that effort elsewhere. Even TrueNAS is leaving the BSD space. The fact that most applications are shipping via docker/Flatpak/snap etc. and that BSD does not have a good solution for those does not bode well for BSD.

There just really isn’t that much development for BSD anymore. Everyone who wasn’t on Linux is moving over to it.

How does that work when all of the production happens in other countries now? Is there some scenario where we have a socialist white collar economy? All the rhetoric surrounding Communism fits a blue collar economy where production is still the key driver of the economy. Most “1st world” economies these days are service economies not production economies. Is there some literature on how Communism fits in with a service economy?

The issue is every competitor will use the same targeted ads. No advertiser who is not using targeted ads by utilizing tracking data will never be as competitive because their ads won’t be as effective.

Until we can kill these types of advertising by making laws against it or make tools that counteract them widespread enough that it makes the business unprofitable we will continue to have our data used against us.

Lol yes! Came here to post that, and this link: https://screenrant.com/burns-simpsons-phone-joke-clever-history-reference-explained/

Uhh I think you’re thinking of The Washington Post.

After a certain height your weeds aren’t providing any extra value to pollinators and are just inviting creatures that carry disease to hold up there. That’s why the city insists on cutting them. Just keep your weeds to a reasonable height, it still helps the pollinators and keeps rats from breeding incessantly. Untended to yards are shown to increase rats in the area. You don’t want the plague do you? Cuz that’s how you get the plague. (The last two sentences are hyperbole obviously.)

According to this it was fake. And seems likely since I’ve never seen a follow-up.

I’m assuming they’re North American.

How does this work with local laws regarding 2 party recording? If you’re on a video call and this records the other party without their permission, that is AFAIU illegal in many states in the US. I’m sure in parts of Europe as well.

Yeah that’s not correct, downloading pirated content is still illegal, but it makes no sense for copyright holders to go after 1 person for a movie that costs $20.

You go after the uploader strictly because you can sue for damages for each person/ip they uploaded to. It’s just strictly a monetary and legal thing as to why only the uploaders are taken to court.

Pretty sure even if you block uploads with your torrent client you will still get a DMCA for downloading from a public tracker.

Yes it also doesn’t make a person “on the right” as this person is claiming (at least by American standards/definition), it makes them on the right side (almost the middle of the spectrum) of the left side of the spectrum.
